Alrighty... I have downloaded some pics. I'll have to do multiple posts before I get to them all- so this may take a week. But GOOD- it will keep you coming back for more!

Ok- so Conrad and I got on the plane- and I was REALLY trying to be ok with it. Here's a pic of the happy couple starting off on their trip... their trip on a tin can, loaded with fuel- a flying missle, if you will... Look at the stark fear in my eyes....

Then we got to the hotel- Hyatt Regency- very nice, this company we went with KNOWS how to do it right! So we took a pic where you could see our view on the balcony- we had an ocean view. It was wonderful in the mornings - I would go out there with my book and read... but on this day, we had just arrived and they had given us leis which I was SO excited about. I put them in the fridge so they wouldn't die- but I think they died anyway...

Here is our arrival at the Hyatt.

The next morning we wandered down to the front desk where I spied some shell necklaces. I had seen many people in the hotel wearing these necklaces and I knew I had seen them at the front desk. So I went down and I asked the lady (who was standing next to a pole DRIPPING with these necklaces- so TRY to lie to me lady!!!) how much the necklaces were... she said they were not for sale. She said they gave the necklaces to the male guests and gave the girls leis. Um- no, I told her- that is not what happened. I told her Conrad didn't have a necklace - that he got a lei and he was sad about that... so she gave me one. SCORE! FREE SHELL NECKLACE- those babies go for $1.99 in the shops. WHOOP. So I grabbed the necklace before she could change her mind and I danced over to Conrad. I presented it to him and then said "but you don't really want it, right?" He said no- he did not. I think he may have been lying cause it's a pretty cool necklace. I decided to let him wear it in the elevator on the way to the room- because this might be his only chance, he decided to make it really count... here is Conrad wearing the necklace ...

As soon as we got back in the room, I took it from him... for safe keeping. It's really safe now, in my jewelry box.

Um... let's see... this is a pengiun who lived in our hotel. They are not always cold water birds... some species like the hot weather. I think it's a bunch of phooey- but that's what the sign said at the penguins area...

Ok- that's all for tonight... tomorrow morning I shall arise, brew my Kona coffee that I paid out the ying yang for and then post some more... stay tuned!
